I'm probably going to stop using my small Pearce stamp. I was thinking that maybe it was just the damascus or that I was just stamping material that was too hard for the stamp. It is an old one, which was why my stamp wasn't coming out so great.

So I ran it over this one while I had it heated up and it was still just as difficult to stamp, its normally not that hard.

Anyway, it's a knife out of a Pony shoe, which 'Pony' is actually stamped into the opposite side of the handle, by the manufacturer of this shoe.

This is one of my super awesome knives when I was a kid. I wanted something small that I could forge out that was more appealing than the nails that I made at that time.

Of course, now I've been considering not making a lot of them. I haven't retired this design/style/type like I have some of my others, but I may in the future. Who knows..
